Explanation / Answer

Its cheggs policy to answer only the first 4 sub parts of any question. Please let me know if my answers are incorrect as you have given a thumbs down.

a)When capacitors are connected in series, their equivalent capacitance is given by C = C1*C2/(C1+C2)

=3.73 uF

b)total charge in the system = CV

=3.73*150

=559.5 uC

b&c)In series capacitance, the magnitude of charge on all the capacitors is the same. hence,

charge on C1 = 559.5 uC

charge on C2 = 559.5 uC

d)Potential difference across C1 = Qc1/C1

=559.5/13.3

=42.0677 V
